The death of the guardian of Foxconn's iPhone prototype is a tragedy. But deep down, gadgethounds are wondering where the phone is now. So far, none of us know where, so we're left to our imaginations.

Maybe some competing company or manufacturer hired someone to lift it. Maybe some kid picked it up off the curb and it's in his toy chest. Maybe it's under someone's couch cushions. Maybe it's lying in the middle of a street, being run over by hundreds of cars an hour, completely unrecognizable. Maybe someone reading this post has it in their hands. Maybe it never existed.
